I have to say, when I first laid eyes on this I didn't think it was a DVD player. That's probably one of it's coolest features, though. I'm talking about a
transformer-reminiscent PDP (portable DVD player) that focuses mostly on design.
It appears to be ultra portable, though it doesn't seem like it'd fit in the average pocket either. Nonetheless, it's slim and cuts corners by nixing the screen.

I'd like to introduce you to the holder of the title "
highest wattage ever" in induction cooktops.
GE Monogram and Profile
induction cooktops boast a whopping 3700 watts. Instead of gas or electricity, these cookers use magnetic fields to heat your food.
Not familiar with induction cooking? As I briefly mentioned, magnets are involved.[Read the rest of this post]September 20, 2007 by Lauren
You've all probably forgotten about
mobile internet devices as of late, but I'm here to bring that back for you. There isn't a whole lot of information known about this little gadget, especially from the video below, but it certainly has at least one interesting feature.
The gadget of which I speak is
BenQ's MID. This baby is a decent sized handheld sporting a black and blue color scheme.

I'm willing to look past the infuriating need of some corporations to put their company names in lowercase, and look beyond, into the wonderful realm of
free[ish] phone service. Just who am I talking about? None other than ooma.
Instead of an ugly monthly fee, ooma offers its users the opportunity to buy the necessary equipment for their VoIP service and never pay again. This company, along with its dreams of freedom, isn't new.

Non-smoking areas are on the uprise, which is nice for the general
public and their lungs, but pretty upsetting for the smokers out there.
Well for the smokers, though I don't personally smoke or condone it,
I'd like to address the fact that help has arrived. You can now suck
away on your cigarette anywhere, anytime.
This smokeless cigarette, the Crown7, is shaped like your average
cigar.

There's a new Sony camera on the market that looks for your smile. Ever find yourself taking pictures without smiling faces in them?
This camera looks to remedy that problem by incorporating facial recognition technology. The general idea is, either everyone looks happy or this camera won't take the picture.

With all of the Apple buzz going around, I understand that it's hard to keep up with the competition. But I have to admit, Sony, this thing looks a little strange. As the details were released about this
new MP3 player, the Rolly, it has been said that this device aims to offer something completely different. It think it's safe to say they've certainly accomplished that much.
As you can see, it has sort of an egg shape.

Or at least two modified ways to eat. There's a pair of new 'gadgets' on the market that aren't particularly important enough to get separate posts, but I'm happy to bring them both to you here for your viewing pleasure.
For the first, you can now eat like a truly wasteful rich person while staying within your budget. Well, staying within your budget if your budget includes $40 for two sets of five chopsticks, anyway.

The title pretty much gives it away; ROSIE is the lovechild of Apple and the common, oversized coffee table. So far, some seem to hate this thing while others think it's innovative and chic. I'll admit, I'm oddly attracted to it. But then, don't we all sort of want at least one
massive, pointless coffee table in our living rooms? I think yes.

Ever wonder what would happen if there was a mash-up between HP and Voodoo? You probably haven't, but the result is a cool gaming PC nonetheless. The Blackbird looks fierce and has been built for performance, including some pretty unique features and tricks.
This PC is said to be the first in its class to use full system liquid cooling.
